The food is very bad, yellow water instead or=tadka dal and stale bread
DO NOT GO HERE OR ORDER FROM HERE, THE FOOD THAT THESE GUYS ARE SELLING IS NOT INDIAN ITS SOMETHING ELSE, because Indian food is delicious unlike this and the person who was on the line referring himself as the owner at the moment was very rude and wasn't admitting his fault, please do not order food from here until and unless you are in a mood to throw the money! Here are some pictures of yellow water and stale bread which is their specialty!

Beautiful souls serving delicious Indian cuisine. Maharani is sincerely appreciated. Their fresh Indian cuisine (in a sit-down restaurant) would be double the price. We are truly fortunate to have them. (Always with their generous portions as well!)
A jewel on Cherry Hinton road. Please support this local business! :)

This place has been our go to place for past 20 years, consistently great food and service. Price is very competitive too, considering cost of a basic fish and chips these days ! Highly recommend this place, owner is a lovely guy too! Open kitchen means that you can see the chefs at work! Everything is freshly made. Well done Maharani
